GENERAL INFORMATION

Security & Photo I.D. Badges: The Medical School issues each student and employee picture identification cards (OneCard System), which must be displayed when entering campus buildings. Security guards are posted at the front door of Scott Hall and the WSU Medical Center Hospitals to check I.D.s 24 hours a day. You should wear your ID badge at all times while in the Medical Center. New Ph.D. students will have their Photo ID’s made by OneCard Office Staff during the week of Fall orientation. One Card/Parking Service Center is located at 42 W. Warren. A representative can be reached at 577-CARD (2273) or by email at onecard@wayne.edu.

Parking: If you have a car, you may park on any of the streets adjacent to the SOM free of charge. Be certain to observe the posted parking restrictions to avoid towing and parking fines, which can be in excess of $50.00. You may also park in the surface lot on the north side of Canfield Ave, opposite Scott Hall. The fee is $8.50, per entry, for students or guests using cash/credit card to enter the lot. You may also purchase a debit card from dispensers in parking structures on the main campus or at the Parking Office to exit the lot. Funds may also be deposited into a personal prepaid service account using one of the CSVT (Cash System Value Terminal) on campus. The WSU OneCard is then used at the entrance gate where the parking fee ($4.00) is debited from the personal account. Alternatively, you may obtain a yearly parking card by paying cash or arrange for a biweekly payroll deduction. Contact Parking Services at parking@wayne.edu, for additional information.

Attire: Although there is no formal dress code for students you should wear clothing that is consistent with working in a research setting (i.e. no loose fitting clothing, open toe shoes, etc.)

Bulletin Boards: There are numerous bulletin boards around the school. There is a board outside the Graduate Programs Office, 1128 Scott Hall, which is maintained by the Associate Dean and dedicated to Interdisciplinary Biomedical Sciences (IBS) program and related graduate student information. In addition, there are bulletin boards near the elevators for posting of flyers (e.g. meeting announcements, fellowship announcements, etc.) relevant to graduate students. You should take the time to note the location of these bulletin boards and check them regularly.

Program Announcements: These announcements are made and distributed in various ways depending on the importance and degree of circulation required. All students will be expected to activate and use their e-mail access. Much of the general communications to students will take place through IBS and Graduate Student ListServs. Details regarding access and use will be provided separately. In addition, some announcements will be posted on the Program Office board, outside of room 1128.

REGISTRATION

Registration: This process occurs once each semester and may be confusing to new students. It is suggested that you attend Orientation for new students or ask a "veteran" graduate student to help you register for the first time. ALL registrations are accomplished by using the Academica web registration system (). For instructions on how to register visit:

Once you have filed a Plan-of-Work (POW) you no longer need to have your advisor's signature. However, it is important that you follow your POW as you register each semester. In addition to the IBS Core Courses required of all new Ph.D. students, a listing of graduate courses offered by the Departments in the School of Medicine (SoM) can be found in the Graduate Bulletin at . The list gives the term and the year each course is offered. This list is useful for developing your POW and at subsequent registrations. WSU publishes a Graduate Bulletin every other year. The Bulletin details the Graduate School’s (GS) requirements for your degree, gives a brief description of each Graduate level course and the number of credits and prerequisites for a given course. Additional information regarding degree requirements are described in the Doctoral Student Handbook.

A listing of courses offered each term by college, department and number can be found at . The site also provides registration dates, times, and fees. The University no longer prints hard copy booklets of the Class Schedule. The Graduate Bulletin is available online at . You MUST register by the end of Final Registration to avoid a late fee, which YOU must pay if you register late. Some courses require instructor's approval of which you must secure before you can register for the course. Certain courses, e.g. research, special problems, special projects, etc., require PRIOR written approval to be able to enroll. You MUST have written departmental approval BEFORE you register. Be certain that you have the proper prerequisites for any course you take.

ADD/LATE ADD COURSE: If you wish to ADD a course during the semester you can do so before the appropriate deadline by using the web registration system at: . If it is after the appropriate deadline you must obtain a LATE/ADD form from the Graduate Programs Office (1128 Scott Hall) and acquire the instructor’s signature and/or the Program Director’s signature. Return the form to the Graduate Programs Office for a LATE override. Registration will then add the class from their office manually for you.

DROP/WITHDRAW COURSE: To drop a class, you will need to log in to the Registration Portal (registration.wayne.edu) and log in to “Register for Classes”. Additional information to drop a course can be found at: . You are permitted to drop from a course anytime through the end of the second week of classes. Beginning the third week of class you are no longer allowed to drop a class, you must withdraw. Information and instructions on how to withdraw from a course can be found at: . Withdrawing from a course does not cancel tuition or fees. You are still charged for courses from which you withdraw. All withdrawals will appear on your transcript.

If you are not a resident of Michigan (as defined by the University) your fees will be at the non- resident rate published in the Schedule of Classes, unless you are supported by a University Graduate Research Assistantship (GRA) or a Rumble (or similar) Fellowship.

Registration Overrides: If you are having trouble registering for a course it may be necessary to obtain a registration override from the Graduate Programs Office. We can be reached by phone 577-1455 or in person, room 1128 Scott Hall. Reasons you may need to obtain a registration override:

• Major restrictions

• Class restrictions

• Department approval required

• Time conflicts

• Enrolling in a closed section

• Late Add after the registration deadline

• Repeat count exceeded

Full/Part Time Enrollment: Full time enrollment is defined by the Graduate School as 8 credits/fall or winter term for all students except research assistants who are required to take a minimum of 6 credits. Foreign students on student visas are normally required to maintain full time status, which is defined as above.

Non-Residency; Out-of-State Status: The requirements for residency are detailed in the WSU Graduate Bulletin. A brief statement may be found at the Class Schedule website. The University strictly enforces these requirements for residency. Be certain you meet them to avoid added course fees.

Grades, Grading Policy, Lab & Research Courses & Credit Transfer is within the purview of the faculty with guidelines established by the University, the Graduate School and the Division. In addition to the regular letter grades; the grade of (I) for incomplete MUST be removed within one year or it will be converted to a (F) for failing. The grade of (Y) for deferred MUST be removed before a student can graduate.

FINANCIAL AID

Financial Aid: Many students accepted into SoM Graduate Programs are eligible for some type of financial support. Receipt of an award depends upon the students' overall academic record and the availability of funds. Listed below are several types of support available to students. The Graduate School Financial Aid Office, at 42 West Warren in the Welcome Center, has specific information on the scholarships, fellowships, and other types of support available to the student. A satellite office can be located in Mazurek Education Commons at the SoM.

Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA): The SoM has a number of these it awards to Ph.D. students only. There are also GRA’s funded by research grants. GRA’s are awarded at the discretion of the principal investigator of the grant. The appointment duration, level of stipend support, tuition and insurance coverages are determined by University policy within constraints imposed by the research grant and the Principal Investigator. However, the levels of support are generally comparable to other University funded assistantships, fellowships, scholarships, and traineeships. Tuition charges vary according to the entering residency of the recipient student.

Initiative for Maximizing Student Development (IMSD): This University wide, federally funded fellowship program is open to minority US citizens pursuing RESEARCH Masters or Doctoral degrees in biomedical research. The fellowship support and benefits are competitive with those of the Graduate Assistantship award. The program is under the direction of Dr. Joseph Dunbar in the Department of Physiology.

Self-supported Graduate Students: Non-subsidized Master’s students who maintain outside employment to defray their educational expenses will expect to maintain strong academic performance.

DUE PROCESS

Students are advised to consult the “Student Due Process Policy”. The policy (1) establishes the expectations that students are accountable for their behavior; (2) describes acceptable student conduct, both academic and non-academic; (3) describes disciplinary policies and procedures; specifies the rights of the student and other parties; (5) specifies prohibited conduct and sanctions to be imposed if such conduct occurs. Examples of prohibited conduct subject to the Student Due Process Policy include, but are not limited to, knowingly furnishing false information (both academic and non-academic) to the University, academic dishonesty, disorderly behavior, theft, damage of property, illegal drugs, weapons on campus, false report of emergency, unauthorized entry, violation of criminal law, etc.

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT

Academic misconduct is an activity that tends to compromise the academic integrity of the institution or undermine the education process. Examples of academic misconduct include:

Plagiarism: To take and use another’s words or ideas as your own without appropriate referencing and citation.

Cheating: Intentionally using or attempting to use or intentionally providing unauthorized materials, information or assistance in any academic exercise. This includes copying from another student’s test paper, allowing another student to copy from your test, using unauthorized material during an exam and submitting a term paper for a current class that has been submitted in a past class without appropriate permission.

Fabrication: Intentional or unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation, such as knowingly attributing citations to the wrong source or listing a fake reference in the paper or bibliography.

Other: Selling, buying or stealing all or part of a test or term paper, unauthorized use of resources, enlisting in the assistance of a substitute when taking an exam, destroying another’s work, threatening or exploiting students or instructors, or any other violation of course rules as contained in the course syllabus or other written information.

Such activity may result in failure of a specific assignment, an entire course, or, if flagrant, dismissal from Wayne State University.

EVALUATING THE PROGRESS OF GRADUATE STUDENTS

TOWARD THEIR DEGREE

Every department must have methods of monitoring the progress of graduate students toward completing the requirements for the degree. Methods for achieving this goal vary by department but could include:

• Regular reviews of students' files by a graduate committee, advisor, Graduate Director, or advisory committee. Students should have an advisor as early as possible.

• The development of an annual student assessment/evaluation review process.

• Instituting a system of required advising.

• Having conferences with students on their performance in key courses.

• In science departments, a regular review of students’ performance in laboratory rotations.

• For Ph.D. students, a written annual review is required.

Whatever method or methods a department uses, it should ensure that every student benefits from regular monitoring of his or her progress toward the degree. Each graduate student should have the experience of at least an annual one-on-one discussion with a faculty advisor at which the student's academic progress and goals are discussed. Feedback to students should be given in writing. The department should make special efforts to assist students who are experiencing academic problems or have conflicts with instructors.

Credit Transfer: Credit from Colleges and Universities other than WSU is permitted for up to 32 credits. They MUST be equivalent to WSU’s 6000 or higher Graduate level didactic, not lab or research courses. All transfers require the approval of your program’s Graduate Officer and the Dean of Graduate Programs at the SoM.

Academic Progress & Performance Evaluation: An evaluation will be conducted at the end of each Fall and Winter term by the Program Director's office. The results of the evaluation will be communicated to the student and his/her advisor in written form. The intent is to facilitate the students' progress through the program in a timely, organized manner by noting the successes achieved and deficiencies that need attention.

Withdrawal from Program: Program withdrawals, initiated by the student for academic or other reasons, should be communicated to the Advisor and Program Director's office in writing with the reason(s) for withdrawal and future intent.

Probation: The Doctoral programs require a 3.0 or better cumulative grade point average for regular admission. Students with cumulative grade point averages below 3.0 may be placed on Academic Probation. Removal of the probation requires two successive terms with grade point averages of 3.0 or above. Failure to remove the probation may result in dismissal from the program.

ACADEMIC APPEALS & DUE PROCESS

Academic/Grade Appeals Policy:

If a student receives an unsatisfactory grade for a course, an appeal can be made to request the grade be changed. In order to appeal a grade, the student must follow the steps below.

Initially, a student should try to resolve the grade dispute informally with the INSTRUCTOR.

If the student is not satisfied with the decision from the instructor, the next step is to make a written appeal to the CHAIRPERSON of the department in which the course was offered, detailing the complaint along with any additional supporting documentation. Student should include in this appeal his/her name, full address and phone number. This appeal must be done within 10 calendar days following the grade posting to the student’s record for the term.

If the student is still unsatisfied with the decision by the Department Chairperson, the next step is to make a written appeal* to the ASSOCIATE DEAN for Research and Graduate Programs in the School of Medicine. Similarly, the student should provide his/her name, full address and phone number and supporting documentation regarding the appeal and include a copy of the decision from the Chairperson.

If, after your School/College appeal path is exhausted and the student remains unsatisfied with the decision and wants to continue with the grade appeal process, per the University Academic policy (), the student may request a PROVOST REVIEW, within 10 calendar days of the date of the college’s final decision.**. A written request for a provost review must be made by the student, with a copy to the Dean of the college. Likewise, student must provide all pertinent information relevant to the appeal. The request should be addressed to Dr. R. Darin Ellis, Associate Provost for Academic Programs and sent electronically to ag6461@wane.edu***.

The student may also file with the Associate Provost a Request for a Postponement of the effect of the College's final decision. Such a request must be made within seven calendar days of College's final decision, and a copy must be sent to the Dean of the College. For additional information on a Postponement request, go to:

For assistance with the appeal process, you may contact the Ombudsperson Laura Birnie-Lindemann at: ombudsoffice@wayne.edu.

*A written appeal signifies a signed letter or an email with an attached letter that is signed by the student who is appealing a grade.

** Ph.D. students’ appeals that rise to the level of the Office of the Provost will be handled by the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School since the Graduate School is responsible for oversight of doctoral academic processes and certifying doctoral degrees.

*** Please include the following:

Copy of all decision letters from the school/college denying the appeal

PUBLIC SAFETY/POLICE: The Department of Public Safety provides 24-hour police service to the university community and immediate surrounding area of the multi-campuses. The university prides itself on the record of safety maintained on campus, but effective law enforcement and protection requires your cooperation and assistance. We all share the responsibility for making Wayne State University the safest possible place to work, study and play. Everyone is urged to lend support by both reporting crimes and practicing preventive measures to reduce the opportunity for crimes to be committed. The Department of Public Safety offers the following tips:

• Know the location of the Blue Light Phones. Use these phones to contact Public Safety (577-2222).

• Report any suspicious or criminal activity to Public Safety (577-2222). Make a mental note of any personal or vehicle description.

• Don't isolate yourself. If you must remain in campus buildings after closing time, make an effort to do so in the company of at least one other person. Use the "buddy system" when traveling after dark.

• Keep personal possessions with you. Purses, briefcases and other property should never be left unattended.

• Make a record of the serial numbers of personal property. An engraving device is available for your use to apply your name and driver's license number to your property. Record all credit card numbers and store the information in a safe place.

• Visually examine the interior of your car BEFORE you enter.

• Always drive with your car doors locked. Use the car horn as a signal to alert passing citizens in times of need.

• Consider the use of a cellular telephone for emergency notifications.

• Lock your car when exiting and take the keys with you. Lock valuable property in your trunk and out of sight. The parking authority may be able to assist you with minor vehicle problems. On Campus, call: 7-1979. Off Campus, call: (313) 577-1979. Should Parking Authority be closed, Public Safety may be able to assist you. On Campus, call: 7-2222. Off Campus, call: (313) 577-2222.
